Meunier as a Solo Artist in Champagne 🍾 🇫🇷

What happens when Meunier takes centre stage? Our recent Weinakademiker Club tasting offered a compelling answer: remarkable diversity, precision and an impressive ability to age.

Across different terroirs – from chalk to sand – and with very different approaches in the cellar, including élevage both with and without oak, Meunier showed just how versatile it can be. The resulting Blanc de Meuniers ranged from tight and mineral to broader, more vinous expressions, while consistently delivering character and quality.

One of the highlights was an extraordinary bottle from @champagne_demiere, vintage 1975, disgorged in 1980 – still alive, complex and beautifully expressive. A striking demonstration of Meunier’s often underestimated longevity.

The conclusion? There is no single blueprint for great Blanc de Meunier. Terroir, élevage and time can lead to very different interpretations – and at the highest level, the results are outstanding.

A big thank you to our very own @la_madame_meunier - Jelena van Eerdenburg - whose expertise, depth of knowledge and enthusiasmc guided us brilliantly through the evening.

Meunier clearly deserves more than the role of being the supporting actor in a blend.

$A truly distinctive Riesling joins the cellar: 2020 Clemens Busch Marienburg Fahrlay Reserve. Clemens Busch @clemens.busch is one of the Mosel’s most respected growers and a pioneer of organic and biodynamic viticulture in Germany. Together with his wife Rita, he has spent decades showcasing the remarkable diversity of the Marienburg vineyard, vinifying individual parcels separately to highlight their unique terroirs. Today, the estate is regarded as one of the benchmark producers of terroir-driven Riesling. Fahrlay is one of the most distinctive parcels within Marienburg. Named after the nearby ferry crossing (“Fahr”) and the slate-rich soils (“Lay”), it is the only section of Marienburg dominated by blue slate. The steep, terraced vineyard forces the vines to root deep into the fractured rock, producing wines of extraordinary minerality, concentration and precision. The Reserve bottling takes things a step further. Produced from a single cask of Grosses Gewächs-quality wine and aged for at least 24 months on the gross lees before being bottled unfiltered, it is crafted for complexity, depth and longevity rather than immediate fruit expression. The 2020 vintage offers an intensely mineral profile, with notes of citrus, stone fruit, wet slate, herbs and a striking saline character. Powerful yet remarkably refined, it is a wine built around tension, precision and terroir expression, with many years of development still ahead. A fascinating expression of blue slate Riesling from one of Germany’s great vineyard sites and one of the Mosel’s true masters. #Riesling #Mosel #FineWine #WineCollector #GermanWine$

Another benchmark Riesling joins the cellar: the 2022 Schäfer-Fröhlich Felseneck GG @weingut_sf

Led by the exceptionally talented Tim Fröhlich @timfrohlich , Schäfer-Fröhlich has established itself as one of Germany’s most respected estates and a global reference point for dry Riesling. The winery’s philosophy is all about expressing terroir with maximum clarity, producing wines that combine intensity, precision and remarkable elegance.

Felseneck, located in the village of Bockenau in the Nahe, is widely regarded as one of Germany’s greatest vineyards. Its steep slopes of blue slate, quartzite and volcanic rock create wines of extraordinary minerality, energy and complexity. Few sites are capable of translating their terroir into the glass as clearly as Felseneck.

The 2022 vintage is a stunning expression of this legendary vineyard. Aromas of citrus zest, grapefruit, white peach and crushed stone are complemented by smoky, saline notes and incredible freshness. Concentrated yet beautifully refined, the wine delivers layer upon layer of mineral-driven complexity, finishing with the precision and tension that have become signatures of both Felseneck and Tim Fröhlich.

Critics were highly enthusiastic, with scores reaching 98 points and widespread praise for the wine’s purity, focus and exceptional balance. While already captivating today, this is undoubtedly a bottle for the long term, with the structure and depth to evolve gracefully for decades.

A true Grand Cru Riesling and another exciting addition to the cellar.
